Meursault, Maison Jaffelin

Produced by Maison Jaffelin

Jaffelin, the smallest of the great Burgundy wine houses, entered a new chapter in its history in 2004, when it completely renovated its vat room and fitted it out with high precision equipment. Marinette Garnier, oenologist-winemaker, creates these "hand-made" wines in this magical location in the historical centre of Beaune. Since then, Jaffelin continues to present the very best of the finest Burgundy terroirs within a comprehensive collection of wines, which are recognised in prestigious wine competitions and appreciated by connoisseurs around the world.

Tasting Notes

One of the most famous names in Burgundy, Meursault tends to have a little more buttered-toast than its neighbour Pulilgny-Montrachet. The trick is to make sure you have enough freshness to balance the deeper, riper fruit flavours, sweet spice and nuts (grilled almonds). So it is a very generous, almost opulent wine with exceptional balance. Power and poise.
